Anons!

I need to rant for a minute.

Exactly why would someone who calls themselves a friend, send a message anonymously and say I am looking out for you, love you???

New Hobby!

2011-12-31T12:11:00.000-05:00

For those of you who do not know about my new hobby, here is a sneak peak of what you can start to enjoy. Yes, I took that picture!!

Myakka State Park, FL

Have you ever...

2011-05-07T19:31:00.002-04:00

I saw this post on Tumblr and couldn't help to think, yes, yes, yes and yes all because of the car accident when I was 16.

Have you ever

a) had surgery?

b) broken a bone?

c) been in a car accident?

d) been hospitalized?

Would You Rather...

2011-04-28T18:01:00.003-04:00

These questions are always fun so I thought it would be cool to make a challenge out of it. Just something simple to do. It should be fun.

So if you want to do this as well, copy and paste it into your own blog. Keep in mind that “neither” is not an option. You have to pick one. And some are pretty gnarly so I would hope you’d feel the need to explain your reasoning. Enjoy!

1.Live without music or live without T.V.?
Live without TV

2.Eat a bar of soap or drink a bottle of dish washing liquid?
I can't decide on this one, I guess a bottle of dish washing liquid. My lame reasoning is that it would just go down faster - I think you get the same effect no matter which one you digest.

3.Hold your pee forever or have an uncontrollable bladder?
I am choosing, uncontrollable bladder, I am almost there anyway.

4.Be called a racist or a traitor to your country?
Call me whatever you want, so a racist it is.

5.Be trapped in an elevator with wet dogs or with three fat men with bad breath?
Going with the wet dogs they will eventually dry off.

6.Lose your legs or lose your arms?
Take my arms - If I can still walk and talk I am good. Chauffer please!!

7.Have a beautiful house and an ugly car or an ugly house and a beautiful car?
I love my car, but not that much - Door #1-taking the beautiful house and ugly car. This choice was really not a problem.

8.Be blind or deaf?
Deaf it is.

9.Live in Antarctica or Death Valley?
Death Valley, I am already in FL

10.Find true love or 10 million dollars?
Finding true love with a 10 million dollars...lmao. True Love of course.

11.Always say what’s on your mind or never speak again?
Always say what's on my mind. Yikes, that could be dangerous - oh well. I could never not speak again. What would society be like without my opinion....LOL

12.Have pom-poms for hands or glow sticks for fingers?
Make my fingers glow baby!! Could you imagine?!?

13.Be able to hear any conversation or take back what you said?
I never say anything I have to take back, so I am choosing to hear any conversation.

14.End hunger or hatred?
End hatred

15.Always lose or never play?
Never Play. We all know, I don't do anything I cannot win at. So that is solved.

16.Fly when you fart or pee when you laugh?
Just for shits and giggles I would love to see myself fly after I fart. Seriously?? I think this question is backwards... shouldn't it read fart when you fly and pee when you laugh?

17.Know it all or have it all?
Know it all, I already do. LMAO...ok I don't but damn close.

18.Give bad advice or take bad advice?
Take bad advice.

19.Have a mansion in the middle of nowhere or an apartment with 10 friends?
.Have a mansion in the middle of nowhere, how could a mansion be in the middle of nowhere, it would have to be situated somewhere right, so then my 10 friends can come visit and the GO HOME when I am tired.

20.Be forgotten or hatefully remembered?
Just forget me if you hate me that much

21.Not be able to use your phone or your email?
Take my email, but don't take my phone.

22.Be rich with an unhappy job or make less money with a job you like?
I need to provide for my family so I am going with the rich and unhappy... sad I know. But you do what ya gotta do. Isn't that how the saying goes??

23.Be able to read everyone’s mind all the time or always know their future?
I don't care about their future - but reading ones mind is kinda cool.

24.Eat a handful of hair or lick three public telephones?
Licking public telephones... OMG I thought that said toilets at first...telephones are even easier. I don't like hairballs much very hard to cough up... I see my cat struggles and have you ever tried hairball remedy medicine, it's nasty...my cat even dislikes it.

25.Be schizophrenic or have amnesia?
Shit give me schizophrenia...I am dealing with some type of amnesia already and it's not fun...now where the hell are my glasses.

26.Talk like Yoda or breathe like Darth Vador?
Yoda, Yoda, Yoda...everyone would listen to me

27.Marry a vain person or a person with poor image?
OMG, I know both - going with Mr. Vain. LMAO

28.Eat 30 pounds of cheese in one sitting or a bucket of peanut butter without water?
Not sure of the effects of either - so cheese it is.

Uncontrollable Laughter

Flowers

2011-04-22T13:49:00.002-04:00

I had some time at work to clean, which I try and do on Fridays. In my desk draw way in the back, I find this little packet. I am really not sure where it came from - thinking some lucky lady who sat at this desk prior to me was sent flowers. Boohoo! So I am left with flower food and no flowers. How to make my "Good Friday" a sad Friday.

Happy Easter everyone! Donations are welcome!

Day 29 & 30

2011-04-15T07:00:00.004-04:00

A picture of me and anything I want to write about:

You all know what I look like - right, no big suprise there!

This is the end of my 30 Day Challenge. It was very fun. I will have to look for other things to write about now. Hmm - what will I come up with?

To all my blogger friends, if you have anything you wish me to blog about let me know. I am always looking for new material.

Day 28

2011-04-14T09:36:00.001-04:00

Do you wish for anything at 11:11? If so, what do you wish for?

The only time I ever get to see 11:11 is in the AM. I don't think I have been up past 10:00PM in years. So I have a 50/50 chance of seeing 11:11AM and I will tell you that I have seen it every day for the past two weeks and I have only made a wish on one of those days. No, I am not telling what I wished for - what good is that??

So there is suppose to be great meaning to seeing or being drawn to seeing 11:11. I haven't figured it out yet, but it has to do with synchronicity in ones life. Whatever that means.

Do you see 11:11?

For your reading pleasure: http://www.dimension1111.com/index.html

Day 27

2011-04-13T07:00:00.001-04:00

Picture of my handwriting!!

Day 26

2011-04-12T07:00:00.005-04:00

10 things that make me feel warm and fuzzy:

My Kitty - Poot
My Family and Friends
Hugs and Kisses
My Sweats
The Sunshine
Banana Splits
The smell of Roses
A Bubble Bath
Laughter
Seeing men with babies

Day 25

2011-04-11T07:00:00.003-04:00

Day 25 - would you rather marry someone who is plain with an amazing personality or someone beautiful with a plain personality.

THAT is a no-brainer - "Plain with an amazing personality"

But did you know you can have both?!? There are thousands of fish in the sea both male/female that are beautiful outside as well as in with amazing personalities. I know a few of them myself.

I hate bringing this up since he has passed, but to me my dad was the MOST beautiful man with the most amazing personality - he was so damn funny and when he tried to be serious it was actually funny - to me anyway. On the inside, i was like, "dad are you really trying to scold me, because you are making me laugh hysterically"

So don't fret, beautiful and amazing people exist, you just have to look a little harder.

Day 24

2011-04-10T06:00:00.000-04:00

Skipping Day 22 and 23. You don't need to see a picture of what I wore today. Nor am I going to write a letter to someone.

Random Post

2011-04-07T18:24:00.001-04:00

I just re-read some of my past posts - did you notice some words missing? My gawd, I need a proofer - anyone willing to be my editor in chief? Thank gawd there aren't any typos - I would have had to shut this blog down.

Did you know today was National Beaver Day? Don't believe me, check it out: http://www.beaversww.org/about-us/international-beaver-day/

Now onto another Kirsten NOT Kristen situation. I know the picture is a little faint in color, but if you look real close at the lower portion of the picture you will see my named spelled correctly - twice even. Only because it system generated, but still. The human responder then chooses to replicate my name and spells it wrong or did they, maybe they think my name is Kristen or are they just not PAYING ATTENTION? Exactly how does one look at a persons name and then types something different. Do you ever hear people call Kirstie Allie, Kristie or Kris or Kay or Katherine. I think NOT! Mind you I am laughing hysterically. But in all honesty, it's rediculous that I go through this day in and day out.

Day 19

2011-04-07T07:00:00.000-04:00

List all the places you have lived. They are the order in which I lived:

Rhode Island (was born there)

Pawtucket
East Providence

New Hampshire

North Conway
Conway

Florida

Bradenton

Day 18

2011-04-06T07:00:00.001-04:00

Name the TV show you have become addicted to

I don't watch enough TV to become addicted. But the shows I watch the most are:
Criminal Minds
CSI Las Vegas
The Mentalist

Day 17

2011-04-05T07:00:00.000-04:00

What do you want to be when you get older.

Oh hell it's to late now!!
I am stuck being a geek and there ain't nothing wrong with that. LMFAO

So I am going to have to go with being the best person I can be for the next 30 years. Live life to the fullest and have no regrets!! Who's joining me?

Day 16

2011-04-04T18:24:00.000-04:00

If the world were to end tomorrow, what would I do with my remaining time.

I would try and gather as many friends and family as I could and just throw the biggest "End of the World" party ever!! Those are the people I would want to be around me - laughing it up and having a great time, then all hug and hold on.

Day 15

2011-04-04T07:00:00.000-04:00

A photo of the person I fancy at the moment - my daughter Kate! She is the best and just like me! Doesn't get better than that.

A First, a second, a third...

2011-04-03T10:11:00.001-04:00

A prime example of people not paying attention. I get Kristen and Kris a lot but Katharine? How does this happen?

Exactly what goes through a persons mind - Oh today, I think I will just make up a name for you or I don't know your name so I "think" its?? I have a 1 in 100,000+ chance of picking the right one.

God, I crack myself up!

I am going to keep this going. Just to show the idiocy of some people.

Day 14

2011-04-03T09:41:00.001-04:00

Celebrity Crushes

I have room for one more!!

Day 13

2011-04-03T09:11:00.000-04:00

I am skipping Day 12 - Exactly why would you want to see a screenshot of my desktop? It's green with icons all over it!! Boring as all get out!

So onto Day 13 - 3 Confessions!

I'm a mild hoarder (but I am getting better at it)
I dislike wearing my glasses. I always thought glasses were cool and stylish. THEY AREN'T, they're ugly and make me look old. They are not in the least bit sexy. They are ruining my "Leo" image.
I'm a little controlling - But, I like to think of it as being "powerful."

Day 11

2011-04-02T07:30:00.002-04:00

Favorite Quote

"Do unto others as you would have done unto you!"

CAPTCHAS - I Hate You

2011-04-01T09:44:00.000-04:00

I know hate is a strong word. So let me remind you of the true meaning: to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest.

That pretty much sums up how I feel about CAPTCHAS. If you are not sure what a captcha is, it’s those annoying mixed up letters and numbers you have to type to prove you are a god damn human being. I understand they serve a purpose to protect society, but seriously when it takes me more than one try to read the gobbled shit that is typed, where the letters are slanted, mashed together and blurry it’s very frustrating, given the fact that I have trouble seeing as it is and when I end up going through 3 captchas before getting one right, it goes up my butt a mile.

So now I have formed a hatred for them.

THE END!

Day 10

2011-04-01T07:30:00.002-04:00

Choose only one food and one drink to eat for the rest of your life:

Well the drink is easy - WATER for various of reasons, one it will keep me hydrated and for my one food, I guess I would have choose RICE.

Thoughts?

Day 9

2011-03-31T17:43:00.000-04:00

Pet Peeves:

People who leave cabinets/draws open
Disorganization
Toothpaste cap not on tight enough
Drivers who don't use there directionals
Noisy eaters
Snoring
Bad table manners
People who one up others
Drivers who tailgate
No toilet paper in a public bathroom stall
Hypocrites
People who touch stuff on my office desk

Day 8

2011-03-31T17:14:00.000-04:00

Three things I want to say to different people:

Dad, I love and miss you and wish you were still here with us.
I don't have anything more specific to say to anyone. After my father's death and not taking the time to say goodbye, it taught me a huge lesson.

It taugh me that if you love someone, tell them often
if you have an issue with someone, talk about it; don't let things fester or linger.
Make amends with friends/family, if you have any ill feelings. Otherwise f*ck e'em

I now have no regrets.

Day 7

2011-03-28T07:00:00.001-04:00

Do you read? What are your favorite books?

My reading all began as a little girl who hid in her room and read every book (age appropriate) to escape from reality. To name a few of my favorites: Little House on the Prairie series, Secret Garden, Rin Tin Tin, James and the Giant Peach, Charlotte's Web, Black Beauty. I read day in and day out. I was getting bored with kid books, so at the rip age of 12 I picked up my first romance novel by Danielle Steele. I began reading every book she had written until I caught up to her and had to wait for her to publish another one. I honestly don't remember what I read in the meantime, I am sure there was something.

So my reading continued right through to my adult life. As I got older I changed genre and went from romance novels to mysteries/thrillers. My favorite authors are Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Janet Evanovich, Robert Parker, Faye Kellerman - the list could go on but I don't read much anymore since I don't need to read to escape, it's now a true lack of time and I much prefer interacting with people then sticking my nose in a book and shutting the world out.

Thank God for therapy!!!

Day 6

2011-03-27T07:30:00.002-04:00

Band or Musician that is most important to me.

Well I have to say that I don't have one band or one musician that is important to me. Music of all types are important to me. I use music as an outlet, when I am down it lifts me up, when I am happy I listen and sing at the top of my lungs, and when I am feeling energetic I dance around my house. I almost could say music is my life, but not really - I just enjoy it a lot. I grew up with my mom and dad always sing and dance and playing records.

I don't know what I would do without my music. You can take away my TV, you can take away my cell phone (oh maybe not), you can take away my coffee but please don't take away my music.

I got the music in me!!

Day 5

2011-03-27T07:21:00.004-04:00

I know, I skipped Day 4 - It's Not Applicable!

Day 5: name 5 places I want to visit: (easy peezy lemon squeezy)

Hawaii

Las Vegas

New Orleans

Paris

Germany

I am naming 6 because I miss visiting RI/NH like I used to.

Day 3

2011-03-25T17:33:00.003-04:00

Describe Day 3 in detail - which was when?? Wednesday? I am going to include the whole week, and not in detail because I don't remember in detail what happened on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to tell it to you on Friday. I can barely remember this morning.

This entire week was dedicated to a Train the Trainer session. If you don't know what that is, look it up. Kidding - it is when an official trainer of a company comes in to train you, so you in turn, can train the rest of the company. My days began at 9 and ended at 5-5:30 everyday except for Friday...see I really only remember in detail the events of today. Anywho - I listened intently to the trainer for 4 whole days straight on how to use this new piece of software that I have been using and getting to intimately for the last 4 months. Can we say - redundant. How about "waste of time". Ok, so you get the picture. Let's just say, I had a lot of classtime to keep in touch with friends and family. Now the 5th day - Friday, today we all had an assignment to BE the trainer and deliver a part of the program. My name was pulled out of the hat - woohoo, you would have thought you were winning the lottery, to deliver a demo of "Financial Planning". You would think "Oh that's right up her ally", she loves finances. I do, I do, but not when you have to explain in front of a classroom of people baseline vs. actuals, forecast and variance. Thank god it wasn't taped. I was a tad bit nervous. I tripped over a stupid easel and could hear the stutter in my voice. UGH! That dropped my confidence level down a peg or two. We were critiqued as well on our delivery. I guess I will need to get better at not breaking out in hives or as many.

So, to say the least, I am very thankful this week is over and especially today.

2011-03-20T06:42:00.005-04:00

I am going to attempt to keep up with this one. It should be fun.

Day 1:

Basic Things About Me:

First and foremost I dislike writing about me, it feels so egotistical. But here are the basics:

* My full name at birth: Kirsten Anne Shwaery

* Birthday 8/5 (no I am not telling the year - a women never reveals her age)

* I am married - 16 years - woohoo, never thought I could do anything past two

* I have a teenage daughter - love you baby Kate, she's 15, but she will always be my baby

* Grew up in New England, born in Rhode Island, grew up in New Hampshire. This whole story to come in another post.

* I am 5'10, love this about me. I actually wish I was taller, can you imagine?

* I am slender, but not so much as I get older - everything really does head south - I live in FL too. So that means I have really fat ankles.

* I am funny, witty and smart. That's my humble opinion of myself.

* I am an IT Project Manager - yeah a geek pretty much

* I love confident people like me

* I try not to get sucked into drama - not easy sometimes

THE END!

Beautiful Day!

As some of you may know, I am a Scentsy Representative. In getting ready for the new 2010 Spring/Summer catalog and the unveiling of their new warmers, Scentsy held a contest for all consultants and customers. The object of the contest was to find 12 hidden scentsy icons scattered all over the US and Canada map, which when found provided a sneak peek of a new warmer/plug-in. Each day Scentsy provided a new clue for each of the 12 locations and it was up to you to try and locate the warmer. This task wasn't easy. I got frustrated more than once. Each day I would wait for the next clue to hopefully make finding the warmers easier. I found one on the first day and then one on the second day. By the third day (which I was ready to give up), I had six out of the 12. We had a week to find all twelve warmers. I ended up finding only nine out of the twelve hidden warmers. I didn't think I had a chance in hell to win; plus I didn't even know what the prize was. In my mind I had given up and went about my weekend. I also forgot that on Monday they were going to announce the winners.

So here it was Monday night (I had forgotten all about the contest). I get an email from Scentsy: GRAND PRIZE WINNER!! as the subject line. I didn't even know what it was until I read the email. I was in such shock. I kept reading the email over and over again making sure it was truly meant for me and that it was for real. I finally believed I was the winner. I never win anything. I jumped up and down and ran around the house. I was giddy for the rest of the evening into today. I think people at work are sick of hearing about how I won.

What did I win? Well, I will be receiving 8 warmers from the new Spring/Summer collections and Scentsy Bars of ALL the Spring/Summer scents. WOW! That's a lot of product. Anyone want to host a party?? Be sure to visit my website for all the awesome Promos this month!

Quotable Sunday #6 - Absent

Since I have been absent from my blog for quite a while, I figured I would do some quotes in that regard. ENJOY!

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. - Dr. Carl Sagan

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it. - Benjamin Franklin

Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions - Samuel Johnson

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Aloha Friday #7

2009-11-20T06:00:00.001-05:00

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that Hawaiians take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just answer my Aloha Friday question in the comments section and post your own question on your blog. Head to An Island Life and leave your link there. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

MY QUESTION:

Do you decorate a fake or a real Christmas Tree each year?

MY ANSWER:

We put up a fake tree now that we live in Florida. A real tree just doesn't seem right without it being winter outside.

Be sure to enter into my Holiday Scentsy Giveaway. All of you that love giveaways will want to check it out!!

I am listening to the news and I cannot believe all the crime that happens in Florida. I thought Rhode Island had high crime...it's not even close to the abductions, the shootings, the robberies that happen here.

I really think I need a vacation. I have been feeling really down and not wanting to do much. They say the Winter months do that to some people, but I live in FL...there is sun all the time. I just think I am burned out. I see a week off in my future after Christmas, then back to the grind for another year. That's enough to depress anyone.

Wish me luck at my annual boob smashing appointment today.

I hate money discussions especially over Christmas.

During fundraising season I ordered a box of preportioned snickerdoodle cookie dough (they sounded so delicious). It will have been the first time I ever tried them. For those that don't know what they are - it's a cinnamon covered sugar cookie. Yum right! Well, they are very yummy and we are almost out of them. We have a dozen left and guess what, I found a store online where I can buy more!! Yippee!! I love snickerdoodles, do you?

Is there anyone out there that is an email freak like me and not delete emails . I have email going back to 2007. What the hell!! That's just sick.

Had a very successful Scentsy party this weekend so I thought I would attribute my quotes to parties this week

Never be the first to arrive at a party or the last to go home, and never, ever be both. ~David Brown, quoted in Reader's Digest "Quotable Quotes," April 2004

At every party there are two kinds of people - those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other. ~Ann Landers

I am thankful for the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. ~Nancie J. Carmody

It's time again for some Random Thoughts!!

So I was just asked, "How do I export a MS Project Plan to Excel?" It sounds scary doesn't it. It's the big word "export" that gets every one messed up and scared. Check out the link, pretty scary I thought. Simple solution: Ignore the word export and just do a copy and paste. Works like charm everytime!!

On another note regarding "How Tos" - I spent all Sunday morning trying to figure out how to add comment numbers to my blog comments. I did it once and forgot, but I found it and am now sharing the link for anyone that wants to know HOW TO: Number Comments

I can't wait for my day off after Thanksgiving. Who is going shopping?? I might online, but not out in the stores. I am not one that likes to be trampled.

I also can't wait for my week off after Christmas.

That reminds me to tell you to look for a special post coming to my Scents Appeal blog. All of you that ~~like~~ love giveaways, Nicole (hint, hint) , will want to check it out on November 16th!!

I just love that my mom started blogging. If you get a chance, please visit her at OmiX4 and leave her some comment love - she is a hoot. Follow her if you are brave...

How some candy got it's name

2009-11-08T06:00:00.000-05:00

I knooooow, Halloween is over - but candy is still hovering around. I filled my candy bucket (picture on left) this morning with all the leftover candy I had at home. A co-worker happened to pass my cube (I sit right next to the printer so this is not an odd occurrence) and stopped to tell me the story of how Milk Duds got their name. It was such a cute story and I got to thinking how fun it would be to find out how other candy got it's name. After doing some research this is what I came up with.

Milk Duds - Candy name came about because the original idea was to have a perfectly round piece. Since this was found to be impossible, the word "duds" was used. The word "milk" was used to reflect the large amount of milk in the product.

Snickers - Invented by Frank Mars in 1930 and named after his horse Snicker

3 Musketeers - was invented in 1932 by MARS. It was originally packaged as three individual mini bars of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry nougat, hence the name 3 Musketeers.

M&Ms - In 1940, Forrest Mars, Sr., and an associate whose name has been lost to history, started to manufacture M&Ms. The M in M&Ms® comes from the first initial of the last names of Mars and his associate.

Baby Ruth - Not Babe Ruth as some call it. The candy bar was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter Ruth Cleveland. She was born during his term in office, but sadly died at the age of 12 from diphtheria.

2009-11-07T06:00:00.000-05:00

This may be classified as a TMI post so I am just warning you right now to not read on if you do not like this type of written material.

It was time for a bathroom run at work. I headed to the restroom and choose a stall. That is what women do. I look down before I sit down...people are really gross here at work, and I see this white thing sticking in the toilet. (pic on left). What the hell is that thing, I'm thinking. I've never seen that before. Not all the toilets have that white thing so long and big sticking in the toilet bowl. I look at it, I study it, I follow the cord and determine it's the end of the hose from the white smelly thing in the bathroom stall. (pic on right) So the questions in my head start. Why is there one directly in the stall? Is it stink activated? I thought this was pretty funny. Is it going to squirt when I am sitting down? Are they getting ready to turn all toilets into bedays? Or is it an electrocution device and someone is trying to off someone at the office. Even though I kind of figured out what it was, I was still uncertain about the white thing and sat down very gently ready to jump up if something happened. What's even funnier is that I am snapping pictures. I came out of the bathroom laughing my head off.

Do you all know how to make the accent marks on letters with your keyboard? I just learned this morning. I know I am a little slow. example: Alt + 161 = í Alt + 162 = ó Alt + 129 = ü Pretty cool huh?

I am hosting a Scentsy Holiday Open House at my home in Bradenton, FL on November 14th. Please stop by if you are in the area. I know the majority of you that read my blog live far far away, but you can get in on the action and still order those Christmas gifts for everyone on your list. Scentsy is PERFECT for classrooms, offices, kids rooms, day cares, teachers, neighbors, busy moms/dads, animal lovers, and especially those that LOVE candles. While supplies last, place your order on my website under "My Open Parties". You can place orders from now until 11/14/2009.

It's so hard for me to write this week. My mind is blank. All my thoughts are work related and that is boring, plus I would rather not complain about work on my blog.

That's it for today unless I think of something else while I sit here doing my work.

RTT #9 sounds like a song...Love Potion #9

Speaking of songs. I just love the new Lady Gaga song Bad Romance off her new album The Fame Monster. Listen to it here. Coming out in stores on 11/23/09. If you end up listening to it, let me know if you like the song.

I am all set for the Halloween party this weekend at our apartment complex. I got my costume and goodies. I will hopefully have some pictures to post next week. My husband is going as the invisible man, no surprise there. (It means he's not going - Whaaaa!)

All those Facebook games are way to addicting, Mafia Wars, Roller Coaster Kingdom, Sorority Life, FairyLand, Restaurant City and the list goes on. Farmville, Farm Town, Barn Buddy - how much farming can one girl do? Do you play? If so, come be my neighbor - you know what I mean.

I had my annual exam (the woman one) yesterday, it went well. That's all I am saying about that subject.

Our work cafeteria has decided to start charging .10 a styrofoam cup should we choose to take a 16oz or 20oz instead of the 8oz they give us. Coffee is free so why does it matter what size cup we put it in. I am not seeing how they are losing money. All cups are free when you buy a meal; othersize BAM! pullout the .10 cents baby because your gonna pay. So I went to Wally-World and got me a super-sized coffee mug. I took care of that situation those cup-loving-10-cent suckers.

I think Jeff Dunham needs to stick to his stand up comedy routine. His premier "The Jeff Dunham Show" last Thursday was bad, not even an ounce of funny! I was so disappointed because I love Peanut and it was lame. Did anyone else see the TV show? What did you think?

Speaking of comedians, who thinks Ron White (you know Tater Salad) ROCKS!!! I do! I do! I do!

TMI Thursday #1

2009-10-22T07:00:00.002-04:00

If Livit LuvIt can do a TMI Thursday so can I. Skip over to her blog for the rules if you want in on the action.

This, my lovely blog friends and stalkers, is my first TMI Thursday. I was never really sure I had the guts to be a part of TMI Thursdays, but what just happened to me is priceless and funny and embarrassing and my god, I must have been half asleep getting dressed for work yesterday morning.

So I am on my way to the bathroom, first trip of the morning belly full of coffee so I really had to pee bad.

Why do most TMIs happen in the bathroom?

Lifted up my skirt, dropped my thongs

Who drops their thong? I pulled them down and went pee, you know, the usual way for girls to pee. (all you perverts get that mental picture out of your head)

Did a llittle Facebook status' reading on my crackberry (don't tell me you don't take your phone in the bathroom with you and read a few emails) and then after a few minutes decided I was finished with my bathroom antics. Proceeded to pull everything back up - so here I am pulling up my thong and noticed it was on sideways, (do you know what the means-seriously now, do you? If you're a girl you do!! ) How the hell does that crap happen? I sit back down because now I have to take the damn thing off to put it on the correct way - struggling with getting it over my 6" pumps, it gets stuck on the heel while taking if off. Now to put it back on - those things are so tiny and the side could be the back, which could be the bottom, which could be the other side, no wonder I put it on wrong to begin with. FINALLY I figure out which end goes where. Then I notice since it was on sideways that the moisture side that was down (ewww) will now be on my right side hip. God, why? ewww, does it smell? will it dry, will I have to walk around like that all day? All these questions are going through my head and I tip toe out of the bathroom wash my hands and creep back to my desk. SAFE!!

Totally embarassed!

Scents Appeal: 12 Days of Christmas Commenting Giveaway

My good friend Nicole over at Ramblings by Nicole is hosting a Scentsy giveaway.

So head on over to her awesome blog for details on how to win!!

Scents Appeal: 12 Days of Christmas Commenting Giveaway

RTT #8

2009-10-20T09:25:00.000-04:00

It's time again for some Random Thoughts!!

On my way to a meeting last week, posted on the outside of a cubical, it read - Reserved for Marsha I immediately thought of was Marsha Brady (I know, I am dating myself, but I am pretty sure the majority of you who are reading this post know her - SLAM!!) and the ditty Marsha Marsha bo Barsha Bonana fanna fo Farsha fee fy mo Marsha Marsha came to mind. Do you remember that song too?

I love giveaways and have actually won a few, not as many as **Nicole** - she's the ~~chosen one~~ lucky one. If you get a chance, skip over to her blog and check out Ramblings by Nicole, you won't be sorry. Nicole, sorry to put that kind of pressure on you. Not really, that's what you get for winning so many giveaways. Anyway, I am trying to make a suggestion for those blogger folks who run lots of giveaways. Usually in my giveaway entering experience there is one mandatory entry then optional entries, which we know we do as many as we can - more entries more chances to win - right? That's even how it works in the real world. This is where my suggestion comes in to play. Additional entries can be as minimal as one to as many as 10, and each additional entry requires a comment. When commenting five, six or even seven times in a row it gets a little annoying, cumbersome even irritating to continually having to type in the "word verification" - Captcha if you will. It would be very helpful to us commenters (is this even a word, my spell check keeps telling me it's wrong - WTF!) if you ever-so-loving giveawayers (this is my OWN word, thank you) could turn your word verification off, yes OFF, shut it the hell OFF!

Did I just hear you ALL ask how? Woohoo, I am more than thrilled to explain. As a Blogger user, go to Settings/Comments and scroll almost to the bottom of the screen, you will see "show word verification for comments", select No, click Save. Now THAT was easy!!

Now fellow entrants can zip right along with their comments. WooHoo!

Heard we had a new big ass printer in our department - doubles as a tanning bed. I am glad I don't sit anywhere near it. I am so not in need of that much radiation.

I was so shocked to have received the ~~Holy Crap Award~~ Honest Scrap Award. That's what I said when Pixie told me in an email that she picked me to receive the award.

The weather in Florida is very cold and I am NOT liking it. Yes I am complaining. The mornings are in the 50's warming up to the upper 60's by the afternoon. It's cold - brrrrr

While reading the new blog posts of the day, my second read was Jennifer Juniper's Hope Studios blog post titled "Homeless American Girl Doll" (about the new American Girl - Gwen). I wanted to know more about Gwen as Jennifer's post peaked my interest. I bopped over to the American Girl Doll official website and didn't get any further than the front page. My heart sunk. They are "archiving" Kirsten. We all know what that means. This makes me so sad. It's like a piece of me is being buried. Why are they saying goodbye to Kirsten? She's beautiful, she's popular. Is it because she is not a modern girl like Gwen with a modern story?

Of course I own Kirsten, and she has been on display in my bedroom for a very long time. I wish I had kept her in the box to preserve her, now that she is going to be a collectors item. I just tried to see if I could purchase her and she is sold out. Maybe some day they will bring Kirsten back.

The Honest Scrap Award

2009-10-15T11:50:00.094-04:00

Wow, my very first blog award - the Honest Scrap Award, who'd a thunk it. I want to thank Pixie from Pixie's World of Wonder for giving me this award. I feel very honored. I love Pixie's blog, if you have a chance to read some of her honest posts, it's well worth it.

Rules for giving and receiving the Honest Scrap Award:

1) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs you find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged you.

2) Tell those 7 people they've been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving the award.

3) Share "10 Honest Things" about myself.

10 HONEST things about me

1. I love seafood, especially Lobster

2. I enjoy having visitors and throwing parties at my home

3. I am a very organized person. That doesn't mean I don't have clutter, it means I know what's in each pile.

4. I love to dance, more than most people - anyone in for a GNO?

5. I didn't know being a mom could be so rewarding. I was afraid of being selfish.

6. I have a lot of clothes which I am ashamed to admit

7. I can honestly say I enjoy working outside of the home. I could never be a SAHM (nothing wrong with it, I just would get really bored. I tried it for 13 months and back to work I went)

8. I honestly wish I was a better writer. Working on it though. What do you think?

9. I wish I had gotten my Computer Science Degree. Oh well. I know, it's never to late but it is when you've lost your motivation.

10. I am so honest you are able to tell immediately by my facial expression s) if I was not telling the truth.

And NOW I proudly present the Honest Scrap Award to these 7 fabulous folks and their fabulous blogs (take a peek if you wish - I have linked them up). I am coming over to read your Honest Truths!! So get a typing!

I love the Monopoly game at McDonalds even though I have no chance in hell of winning any of the prizes. If only I could get Park Place & Board Walk - $1 meeelllion dollars baby!

I can never keep my glasses clean. Always wiping them with that "special cloth". UGH!

Pookie got her 2009 high school pictures yesterday. So very pretty!

I have been reading a lot of blogs (check out the snow picture Mommy Kingdom has posted, you will see what I am talking about) and lately it seems that most of them are talking about how it's snowing or how it has already snowed. I just want to thank them for reminding me of the one major reason I moved to Florida. No snow or cold weather. I like the first snow fall then I can do without.

I treated myself to a 20oz Dunkin' Donuts coffee this morning. Can you say YUM - MY! America Runs on Dunkin'Ⓡ

Getting ready for another Flea Market this weekend at the Sarasota Municipal Auditorium. Let's hope the snowbirds have arrived and are excited about spending some money. Come on down if you live in the Venice, Sarasota, Bradenton area. Just posted the event on Craigslist. Which reminds me, I still need to go through my garage and gather my flea market items.

Happy Hour Friday #1

2009-10-09T09:43:00.001-04:00

While reading one of my favorite blogs - Stacy's Random Thoughts I stumbled upon Otin. It was his birthday (according to Stacy) and I always wish people Happy Birthday. So I jogged over to his blog to do just that and was just taken by his posts. What a fantastic blogger. Check them both out if you haven't already. It's well worth it!!

So today on Otin's blog - which I have been reading daily, is Happy Hour Friday which he and RXBambi host. If you would like to participate as well, all you need to do is list some things that make you happy. Be sure to visit Otin to link up your Happy Hour Friday list.

So what makes me happy?

My friends make me happy new and old some of them silver the others gold. How does the little ditty go?

There are a few friends in my life that stand out, one girl in particular, now a beautiful woman whom (livitluvit hates that word, cracks me up) I met at my place of employment way back in the day. We became very close almost instantly. She was going through some troubled times (men) and I had the best listening ear anyone could ask for. I let her spill her guts for quite awhile. Let's just say a good three years, a truly one-sided relationship giving all the advice I had and letting her suck the life out of me. I was getting fed up - one can only take so much. It was like she didn't hear one word I said. She chose to hear only the words she wanted to hear to keep her in her misery. I stuck it out (I truly felt she needed someone to talk to) until things were so strained I had to sever the friendship. I would have gone nuts. What is sad is after I broke off the friendship I moved to Florida; I let her know that I was leaving the state - not because of her - she wished me well and I went on my merry way. Now that I am far away, it seems that our friendship is back on track and she has learned (possibly through age) that I was a good influence in her life. I am gone now and I am certain she misses what our friendship used to be (the fun times) because she is now able to give back.

Not sure what the moral of this story is, but what I learned from it is that I was meant to be in her life at her time of need. I grew as a person and gained confidence which I needed. I am thankful in a way for having gone through this type of friendship in that I am that much stronger.

Filled up the ~~candy jar~~ plastic candy bucket at work today. Let's see how fast that will last. I put some real good stuff in it this time. Twix and Mint Patties - YUUUUMY!

If you haven't read my post on Halloween Costume's check it out. I was hoping everyone would try to guess which costume I bought for Halloween this year. I promised I would reveal which one it was after 50 comments were made. For those who read my posts you get to know NOW. Woot! Woot! My costume for 2009 is - Sexy Baseball Girl! Gotta Love It! I will take pics and post after the party on Oct. 31st.

I can't wait for my daughter's school pictures to come in. I keep asking her every day after school, did you get your pictures? No Mom, not today. Oooook. I am going to pout now.

Do you DROP? I Drop. If you haven't signed your blog up at EntreCard you should. It's a great way to network and get your blog seen by others.

It's Employee Appreciation week at work. That makes me very happy - Why? Because I can wear jeans all week. It makes it so much easier to get up in the morning and not have to wander through my closet and stand in front of all my cloths chanting - what do I wear, what do I wear (to the tune of I'm a dog, I'm a dog, I'm a lucky lucky dog) at the same time trying to keep my eyes open to see everything I have to chose from. I can now pick a pair of jeans and shirt and I am off. Well maybe not that fast since I have to wash up and do my hair and makeup. We don't even have to match because each day is a theme and today's theme is Tacky Tuesday - be colorful, mix and not match. Say Whaaat? Are you asking me to put on something that doesn't match? That's NOT gonna happen. I cannot bring myself to not match; and tomorrow is Hat Day, another issue I have. No one or thing touches my hair. Yes, I know, I have issues. It's alllll good.

I want a Kindle and I don't want to wait til Christmas - Whaaaaa!

Do you Skype? - Skype is only good if your friends Skype. I Skype, you Skype, we ALL Skype. LMAO!

Fasha want's the Titan Peeler - NO! NO! NO! - no more gadgets from TV. They take your money you get the product, but some how they seem to talk you into all this other crap too. I cannot begin to name the junk we have laying around the house that we bought from the TV.

Get your Thought on at the Un-Mom and link up. Thank you Keely!

Halloween Costume!

2009-10-03T17:33:00.002-04:00

I've got mine, do you have yours?

Went shopping this afternoon for Pookie's Halloween costume and ended up getting one for myself as well. We are going to a party at our apartment complex on the 31st and it is required that we dress up. I had chosen three costumes to try on, can you guess which one I bought - was it "Major Trouble, Olive Oyl, or Sexy Baseball Girl?

I will reveal which one I bought after this post reaches 50 or more comments.

Repercussions??

2009-10-02T11:03:00.002-04:00

This is a blurb from last night's JV game where my daughter is was a cheerleader.

I think it was an emotional build up and it just erupted last night. I believe what put her over the top (along with comments made to her by the coach before the game, like she wasn’t trying hard enough and at other games and practices) was that the girls were doing a build (for those unfamiliar to cheering, a build is when the girls hold up one girl high in the air) and it looked awesome. The Assistant Coach, aka evil chic came around and did a “Good Job” knuckle punch to all the girls except my Pookie. I witnessed it!! I was in shock!! I even mouthed something to Pookie along the lines of - "WHAT THE HECK". Anyway, at half time Pookie and I were walking to get some food and she just dropped her head in my shoulders and just cried. She was feeling so defeated. God it broke my heart as well as set off the “mother instinct”. I think we ALL know what that feels like, the adrenaline is pumped and the heart is pounding. Well she regained her composure and we continued to get some food when the coach called Pookies’s name, I didn’t even hear it, we turned around and walked back to the coach and all the coach said – first thing out of her mouth - “Kate what is the MATTER with you”. I didn’t say anything and let Kate explain how she was giving her all and standing stiff, but the coach cut her off and told Pookie her stance was slumped – THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I was watching Kate the entire first half and she was perfect and stiff and did jumps and kicks. So “I” piped in and said, “that’s bullshit”. The entire conversation went downhill from there. Coach said, “don’t swear at me”. Thought going through my head - For god sakes what did you want me to say, “you lying sack of lard”? (she weighs something like 180-200 lbs) Is that any better?? Anyway, like I said it went all downhill from there and I completely, entire, with every mother instinct I had - LOST IT! Yes, I lost all ability to talk coherently and make sense or say anything to put lard butt in her place. I feel ashamed for my actions, BUT ONLY because I don’t want anything I said to cause repercussions in school for Pookie.

And Pookie quit the team!

Update as of 11:00AM today. All is good so far for Pookie!

Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,

other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed

that during the low periods of my life,

when I was suffering from

anguish, sorrow or defeat,

I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,

"You promised me Lord,

that if I followed you,

you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during

the most trying periods of my life

there have only been one

set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most,

you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,

"The times when you have

seen only one set of footprints in the sand,

is when I carried you."

Mary Stevenson

This is my favorite poem and I wanted to share it with you since today I don't have any pictures. This little poem has gotten me through a lot of tough times. Hope it will do the same for you.

It's TUESDAY, time for some randomness

If it's not one thing it's another that is waking me up during the night. I would like just one night that something, someone, or some IT doesn't wake me up. For the past 4 nights the fire detector has randomly gone off, 3 loud beeps and it's done. First time, we were all up thinking we had a damn fire in our apartment. Fasha (the father) goes and checks everything out, nothing - we go back to bed. Next night it goes off again. I don't just wake up, NO I am startled out of my sleep. Wait for it to stop and go back to sleep. Last night, it not only went off like a siren once, it went off FOUR times, four freakin' times. And I know you know that sound - BAHHHH BAHHHH BAHHHH. Before I left for work I asked Fasha if he heard it again and he said he only heard it once. ONCE, now why on earth did you only hear it once and I heard it four times? Fasha: I guess my pills are working. Is that the answer, just take drugs... We WILL be getting this fixed today!

On that same note, the Property Manager got fired/axed/left on her own accord (probably not) yesterday, so I cannot imagine my little problem being fixed today. Fasha went to tell them about it yesterday and they were in the middle of the axing. Fasha was pretty much ignored. We shall see what happens.

I am patiently waiting for Pookie's school pictures. Where the heck are they? They were taken four weeks ago. Yes, Pookie is my 14 year old daughter. I have called her that ever since she was a baby girl and I always will.

My Scentsy order is coming today. All my customer's are going to be so happy. WooHoo!

Purse Party Diva Girl - NOT!

2009-09-28T14:32:00.004-04:00

As most of you know, I sell Scentsy Wickless Candles as a part time job which is in addition to my full time job. I love staying active, go - go - go - that's me! The weekend of Sept. 19th - 20th some of you may recall that I was setting up a booth at a local Flea Market (I did not do well - for many reasons). Anyway, It got me thinking "What else can I sell" after all the junk in my garage has been sold. Hmm, purses were a big hit that weekend, so the bright-idea light bulb went off in my head - why not get into the business of selling purses, who doesn't like purses? I bet you like purses. I was just psyched with the idea and I had heard about Purse Party Diva Girl. I couldn't wait to see what they were all about. Went online as soon as I had a chance, filled out their "interest" form, felt like a kid at Christmas, and sat and waited - what seemed like forever - to get the so-called response email that will tell me everything I needed to know.

THE EMAIL

Thank you so much for your recent inquiry to Diva Girl Purse Party. As you can tell by our website, we offer only the most trendy, sought after, up to date and quality merchandise the fashion industry has to offer.

(you do, wow, is that a script too?)
* Diva Girl has developed a proven business model that has been successful in every market across the Nation.

Of course the best part of being a Diva Girl consultant is the flexibility to schedule your own parties around home and family. We offer a wide variety of commitment levels (oh not just the six parties a month) with a quantity of merchandise that fits your life style!

To learn more about Diva Girl Purse Party and whether we are currently looking for a consultant in your area, please call our National Recruiter, ~~Michelle Libal~~ (Bitch Woman) at 402-889-0847. She can also be reached by e-mail at mlibal@divagirlpurseparty.com. (why bother, she doesn't personally email you back other than to tell you to call her then turn around and not answer the phone.) We are really looking forward to speaking with you. (No, you're not) We want you to join our team. (No, you don't)

Thank you for your interest in Diva Girl Purse Party! (No, THANK YOU for saving me from this god awful company)

That all sounds great, right?? I thought so, too, at first. Of course I had questions seeing that I have been in the Direct Sale business before. Twice with Mary Kay and then with Cookie Lee, and now currently with Scentsy.

In response to my questions I was told that I would need to call the National Recruiter to discuss my questions over the phone. Ok, not a bad request, (because I will still pumped to see what this company was all about) so I called - no answer, I called again - no answer. Wrote back to the original email giving the National Recruiter my number to call ME. Received one call on my work phone and one on my cell (I was not able to take the call since I was in a meeting). She left me a messaging telling me that she would be in a meeting all afternoon and to return her call after 4:00pm. I waited until the next day and called another two times with no answer - don't they ANSWER their phone?!?! At this point I was getting annoyed. I guess they don't need any new recruits. I called one last time before I was going to call it quits. I wasn't excited anymore and was just feeling they didn't care. Got a live person on the other end, well what do you know!

The Recruiter (if that's what you want to call her) started in with her "script" - god I despise marketing scripts. When finished, she asked if I was able to do SIX parties a month? AHHHH NO! That is so unheard of. I told her that it wasn't possible at all and that was the end of the call. Her answer was, "well when you are able to do six parties a month, please give us a call, we would love to have you as a Purse Party Diva Girl - well you know what, I don't want to be one anymore. I some how got the feeling she didn't want me as a recruit. Not sure why (did I scare her with my professional questions), but my gut was telling me to just hang it up with this chic. What happened to "We offer a wide variety of commitment levels..."?!?!

So would I suggest or recommend anyone to become a Purse Party Diva Girl - Heck No! They are not professional to say the least.

Twelve Rules for a Happy Marriage

2009-09-22T08:53:00.001-04:00

This is my favorite article written by Ann Landers back in 1992. It was in the local Rhode Island newspaper, I believe it is published by Ann every Valentines day, but anyway I cut it out and posted it on my refridgerator and it was there for a very long time - until we moved. It got lost in the shuffle and packed away or even thrown away if my hubby had anything to do with it. He is NOT a pack rat like me.

I think these are greatest rules to live by and want to share them with all of my bloggy friends. Enjoy!

Never both be angry at once
Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire
Yield to the wishes of the other as an exercise in self-discipline if you can't think of a better reason
If you have a choice of making yourself or your mate look good, choose your mate
If you feel you must criticize, do so lovingly
Never bring up a mistake of the past. Your silence will be greatly appreciated
Neglect the whole world rather than each other
Never let the day end without saying one complimentary thing to your life's partner
Never meet without an affectionate greeting
When you've said or done something hurtful, acknowledge it and ask for forgiveness
Remember it takes two to get an argument going. Invariably the one who is wrong is the one who will be doing the most talking - (my personal favorite)
Never go to bed mad

What a Great Feeling

2009-09-18T14:41:00.002-04:00

Now all of you may or may not know, but back in July I decided it was time for me to change my hair style and went for a shorter style, what some people call a "drastic change". Now mind you, this haircut is nothing new to me. I have always had short hair and me having long hair was more of an experiment for me than anything else.

Before After

Now it's time for me to head to work. Did the usual, showered, dressed, put on makeup, did my hair - which took all of 30 minutes and not the hour it used to take. I have arrived at work and the Oh-My-God-What-Did-You-Do, "looks great" remarks start. All day long and the next day and the following week and yes it does feel great when you get a slew of compliments, but that is not really what I am writing about here. People commented on my hair whom I have never spoken to in my life, they just work in the same building. Of course this whole time I have thanked every person who said "you look great". That was the amazing part, you have no idea who notices you. I feel bad that it took a "drastic change" for them to get up the courage to talk to me and then to throw out a compliment. So this has now gone on month after month to my amazement. So my last experience was today - two months later (my hair has surely grown since then) a women, both of us heading to the bathroom, stopped and said "I really love your hair". In my head I thought, still after all this time people are still noticing - What A Great Feeling.

The moral of the story is, make sure you look good at all times, you never know who's watching and if you notice someone that you admire - for whatever reason, just say "Hi", I bet it will make their day. And lastly, go out and do that "drastic" thing you've been thinking about and have never done and come back with pictures.

Why Parents Drink

2009-09-15T14:07:00.002-04:00

I was just sent this email by a dear friend and felt the need to share this with all of you. The message it sends surely hits home.

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'Dad.' With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.

Dear Dad:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercings, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it's not only the passion...Dad, she's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy. In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it.

Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.

Love, Your Son John

PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.
I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card that's in my center desk drawer.

I love you.
Call me when it's safe to come home.

Random Thoughts Tuesday #4

2009-09-15T14:06:00.001-04:00

It's TUESDAY, time for some randomness

Morning coffee is STILL the best!

Remember the bug bites that kept me awake at night, well they are healed thank goodness. Now I have a Tree Frog that keeps me awake (which I attempted to assasinate over the weekend - not very successful) and the same behind-the-wall beep; I slept on the couch because of IT, "it" being THE BEEP. What beep you ask, well the story is in an earlier post. Rather amusing now, but not at the time.

It's fundraiser time!! You know, the books you get to leaf through and decide what ugly wrapping paper you want (none for me) or other useless items you might possibly want. I don't even remember what I choose. So today it's my turn, I brought in to work a box of chocolates to help raise funds for the marching band my daughter plays in. I can't help to wonder how many pieces will be stolen. Yes, people even steal in the corporate world. Can you imagine?!?

I am still working on getting a discreet pic of Mr. Hotty the Coastie at the apartment complex.

My daughter has chosen not to participate in Halloween this year, meaning she does NOT want to dress up and go trick-or-treating. What does that mean? Has she grown out of it? Does she find it lame at 14 years old. Maybe it's something else, like her friends aren't going, or we don't live in a good neighborhood - which we don't. I have been trick-or-treating with her ever since she was born - DH passes out the candy. It was something her and I did every year and now she doesn't want to go anymore. I am crushed!

I need to get my car serviced - UGH, such an inconvenience.

Payday WhooHoo!! Now I can pay my bills and watch it all fly out the door. Paydays are great! Joking!

A old guy at my work place whom is a mere acquaintance told me about a dream he had the night before. Just came into my cube and started the story. I was listening but wondering at the same time why was he telling me about this creepy dream that he had that involved him and his two guardian angels when all of sudden he threw in the mix that I suddenly appeared in the dream between the two angels and he asked me what I was doing there - in his dream of course. ewww!! I was creeped right out, wanting him to just go away. He couldn't end his story fast enough for me. Since I felt uncomfortable, is this an HR issue??

My Family is Blogging!

2009-09-13T16:51:00.005-04:00

Sunday started off with my daughter (Kate) asking me "whatcha' doin today? Going to Omi's (that means grandmother in German) was my answer. So go get ready, you know how it takes us an hour to get ready. What else do you expect with a teen and middle aged women in the bathroom together? We made it out the door in record time, well record time for us. It was a beautiful day out, almost thought it was a pool day, but we forged ahead to have a visit with Omi.

We had a really nice time. My mom showed us her new Versa and ask how to use some features, caught up on happenings during the week over lunch, ~~Kate had a Philly Cheese Steak, my mom ate Fish & Chips while I ate Eggs Benedict,~~ and THEN I asked my mom if she would like me to show her how to start a blog. She was like, YEA! I wanted to jump up and down - I love blogging, but contained my feelings and walked into the computer room with composure and helped walk her through setting up a simple blog. Please give a warm welcome to "Omi Times 4". As we were wracking our brains to come up with THE perfect title - how long did it take you to come up with yours, my daughter blurts out, "I WANT A BLOG, I have the perfect theme", My Four Years of Highschool. Now I was just about coming out of my skin - MY DAUGHTER, wants to BLOG? WooHoo! I was just happy my mom wanted to blog, now I have her AND my daughter. I am happier than a pig in ~~shit~~ poop. So please welcome "My Highschool Life". Now I just need to work on DH.

Now go show them some L.O.V.E!!

THE LORD'S PRAYER

2009-09-13T05:51:00.005-04:00

This was an email sent to me that I thought was cute, so here I am sharing it with you.

Rather cleverly done!

This is in two parts, the prayer (in blue type)

And God (in red type) in response

It is very, very good

Our Father Who Art In Heaven.
Yes?

Don't interrupt me. I'm praying.

But -- you called ME!

Called you?

No, I didn't call you.

I'm praying.

Our Father who art in Heaven.

There -- you did it again!

Did what?

Called ME.

You said,

"Our Father who art in Heaven"

Well, here I am..

What's on your mind?

But I didn't mean anything by it.

I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day.

I always say the Lord's Prayer.

It makes me feel good,

Kind of like fulfilling a duty.

Well, all right.

Go on.

Okay, Hallowed be thy name .

Hold it right there.

What do you mean by that?

By what?

By "Hallowed be thy name"?

It means, it means . . Good grief,

I don't know what it means.

How in the world should I know?

It's just a part of the prayer.

By the way, what does it mean?

It means honored, holy, wonderful.

Hey, that makes sense..

I never thought about what 'hallowed' meant before.

Thanks.

Thy Kingdom come,

Thy will be done,

On earth as it is in Heaven.

Do you really mean that?

Sure, why not?

What are you doing about it?

Doing? Why, nothing, I guess.

I just think it would be kind of neat if you got

Control,of everything down here like you have up

There.We're kinda in a mess down here you know.
Yes, I know;
But, have I got control of you?
Well, I go to church.
That isn't what I asked you.
What about your bad temper?
You've really got a problem there, you know.
And then there's the way you spend your money -- all on yourself.
And what about the kind of books you read ?
Now hold on just a minute!
Stop picking on me!
I'm just as good as some of the rest

Of those people at church!

Excuse ME..
I thought you were praying
For my will to be done.
If that is to happen,
It will have to start with the ones
Who are praying for it.
Like you -- for example ...
Oh, all right. I guess I do have some hang-ups.
Now that you mention it,
I could probably name some others.
So could I.
I haven't thought about it very much until now,
But I really would like to cut out some of those things.
I would like to, you know, be really free.
Good.
Now we're getting somewhere.

We'll work together -- You and ME.
I'm proud of You.
Look, Lord, if you don't mind,
I need to finish up here.
This is taking a lot longer than it usually does.
Give us this day, our daily bread.
You need to cut out the bread..
You're overweight as it is.
Hey, wait a minute! What is this?
Here I was doing my religious duty,
And all of a sudden you break in
And remind me of all my hang-ups.
Praying is a dangerous thing.
You just might get what you ask for.
Remember, you called ME -- and here I am.
It's too late to stop now.
Keep praying. ( pause ... . )
Well, go on.
I'm scared to.
Scared? Of what?
I know what you'll say..
Try ME.
Forgive us our sins,

As we forgive those who sin against us.
What about Ann?
See? I knew it!
I knew you would bring her up!
Why, Lord, she's told lies about me, spread stories.
She never paid back the money she owes me.
I've sworn to get even with her!
But -- your prayer --
What about your prayer?
I didn't -- mean it...
Well, at least you're honest.
But, it's quite a load carrying around all that

bitterness and resentment isn't it?
Yes, but I'll feel better as soon as I get even with her.
Boy, have I got some plans for her.
She'll wish she had never been born.
No, you won't feel any better.
You'll feel worse.
Revenge isn't sweet.
You know how unhappy you are --
Well, I can change that.
You can? How?
Forgive Ann.
Then, I'll forgive you;
And the hate and the sin,
will be Ann's problem -- not yours.
You will have settled the problem
as far as you are concerned.
Oh, you know, you're right.
You always are.
And more than I want revenge,
I want to be right with You . . (sigh).
All right, all right . ...
I forgive her.
There now!
Wonderful!
How do you feel?
Hmmmm. Well, not bad.
Not bad at all!
In fact, I feel pretty great!
You know, I don't think I'll go to bed uptight tonight.
I haven't been getting much rest, you know.
Yeah, I know.
But, you're not through with your prayer, are you?

Go on.
Oh, all right.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Good! Good! I'll do that.
Just don't put yourself in a place
where you can be tempted.
What do you mean by that?
You know what I mean.
Yeah. I know.
Okay.
Go ahead. Finish your prayer..
For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory forever..
Amen.
Do you know what would bring me glory --
What would really make me happy?
No, but I'd like to know.
I want to please you now.
I've really made a mess of things.
I want to truly follow you..
I can see now how great that would be.
So, tell me . . .
How do I make you happy?
YOU just did.

I just found this fun meme from Show My Face so I decided to play along. You just have to describe your life (or something) in a phrase using just six words.
